How can you keep Boule de Berlin?

Room temperature: Berlin bulbs are best when they are fresh, so it is ideal to consume them on the same day they are prepared or bought. If you still want to keep them for a day, it is best to keep them at room temperature in an airtight container or on a plate covered with plastic film. Fridge: if you are planning to keep the Berlin bulbs for longer than a day, place them in the fridge. Make sure that they are properly sealed in an airtight container or well packaged in plastic film to prevent dehydration. The refrigerator slows down the dehydration process, but can still ensure that the bulbs lose their softness faster.

Can you freeze Boule de Berlin?

Portionate: If you want to freeze Berlin bulbs, divide them into individual portions before you freeze them. This makes it easier to defrost the amount you need. Packaging airtight: Place the individual portions of Berlin bulbs in airtight frozen bags or frozen containers to prevent freezer fire. Remove any excess air from the package. Label: Label the bags or containers with the date of freezing, so that you know how long they have been stored in the freezer. Berlin bulbs can usually be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months without much loss of quality. When thawing you can let the bulbs come to room temperature or warm up in the microwave, but be careful not to warm them up for too long to prevent dehydration. Keep in mind that although freezing Berlin bulbs is technically possible, their texture may be less ideal compared to freshly prepared. Enjoying fresh is therefore the best option if possible.
